St. Patrick's Day Activities at ECPI Charleston

It was a busy March 17 at ECPI Charleston. The Student Ambassadors' Club held a St. Patrick's Day Buffet with cooking done by instructor Charlene Holmes. The Club raised almost $150 with proceeds going to the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
Also that day was the ECPI Spring Blood Drive. The Student Ambassadors Club donated over $200 to the American Red Cross and received a recognition plaque.
A big thank you to all who supported these events!!

There were class demonstrations for Math, English, and Psychology as well as a medical assistant lab, medical administration demonstrations, a career services presentation, and a library display.
